Overview
Built for compact rifle setups, this stock is aimed at shooters using PDW-style buffer tubes while still fitting standard mil-spec carbine buffer tubes. Its reinforced polymer construction, non-slip rubber butt-pad, and angled toe are intended to support a stable, consistent shoulder mount, while the ambidextrous adjustment lever and internal release latch help keep the stock easy to manage. The 1.25" ambidextrous sling loop and M-LOK QD sling mount compatibility add practical carry options for field or range use. In Flat Dark Earth, it offers a subdued finish for hunters and shooters who want a compact, purpose-driven stock without extra bulk.
